the kicker is he was being asked if his work was coming from the approach of man vs. nature aka “THE ENVIRONMENT STRIKES BACK” but no. his literal words were along the lines of “sharks are not very scary if you are never in the water so i had to make them scarier, and now they have legs.”
Junji Ito has the best fucking take on horror, which is ‘wouldn’t that be weird’ and then he draws it into the most terrifying thing possible.
One of his strangest stories is about a cursed type of honey that, when ingested, is guaranteed to be the best thing you’ve ever tasted. But, if you consume it, you have a 25% of being flattened like a pancake by a giant tree demon. Characters eat it, get addicted, and that addiction forces them to risk it over and over again until they eventually get turned into a gory puddle by this ghost tree thing.
It’s a weird story, but the funny part is that Ito wrote it because he thought it would suck to be a mosquito.

All you need in life is a color picker willing to expose you to the unbounded madness we call color vision.
me, absolutely clueless: “I want a color just like this one, but in red”
color picker: Fuck you think you are, a Mantis Shrimp? Don’t talk to me again until you can afford a wide gamut monitor.what is even happening here 😨 wheres the circle with the triangle inside we all know and love..
The circle and triangle are a lie we tell ourselves to cope with the ugly reality… Now this– this is the real deal!
In seriousness, this is oklch.com, a color picker for the OKLCH color model.
There are whole several hour lectures one could take in color science and theory, but to keep it short: the set of colors we can see, the set of colors monitors can display, and the set of colors computers can model are three circles that only somewhat overlap.
In this case, if I wanted this color
but in red, I could just go of Photoshop and move over the hue slider, getting this as a result:
Which is.. acceptable, but not as “bright” and “vibrant” as the green I had. Looking at the graphs in the OKLCH color picker, we can figure out why:
It tells us that a red with the same luminosity and chroma as this green is out of gamut—that is, it cannot be displayed by this monitor.
In this case, you can use the edges of the graph to find the color that is closest to what you want. You can, for example, keep the chroma but sacrifice lightness,
keep the lightness but drop the chroma,
or a bit of both, which is what the common HSV triangles already do.
But I like to know when it happens, y'know?
![[A simple flowchart is shown. The text above the panel reads:]Evolution of my understanding of color over time: [On the left side is a vertical dashed line in gray, on top it's labeled:]Grade school[And at the bottom the label reads:]Now [Header above the chart:]"Color" is... [The chart starts with three items, one left and an other on the right, a third is below in the middle.]...three primary colors mixed together...a rainbow, and each color is a wavelength...unknowable ("maybe what I see as blue, you see as...") [Arrows from the left and the middle item point to a new left one, while two other arrows from the middle and the right item lead to one at the right.]...three-ish primary colors mixed together (RGB/RYB/CMYK)...a mix of infinite wavelengths filtered through three eye pigments [The arrows of both items point to one in the middle:](something about the opponent color model) [The remaining items are all in the middle and each is connected by one arrow downwards to the next.]...an abstract multidimensional gamut (CIE 1931, L*a*b*, etc)...an abstract multidimensional gamut filtered through inconsistently-implemented device color profiles...a hyperdimensional four-sided quantum Klein manifold? Is that a thing?...hopefully somebody else's problem.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7a8bf6e1ad661242f905edd6214ebb66/66b628f4dd4b6b54-8f/s500x750/ef54991931f23cf668decf872cfd9719e9cb3ba8.png)
ALTWhat if what *I* see as blue, *you* see as a slightly different blue because you’re using Chrome instead of Firefox and despite a decade of messing with profiles we STILL can’t get this right somehow.

Whose familiar is this? or has someone “warg"ed into this crow? I thought we already agreed to use emails
“Temporary”? WTF. I hope this was only temporary because the crow was like, “my work is done here” and not that some dickhead was like NO CROWS ALLOWED.
So I read the article and it’s actually a bit emotional. It’s basically the bird version of Homeward Bound.
The crow was a rescued bird raised and taken care of by a family who loved him very much. He was “free” in that they didn’t keep him inside, but he was very much habituated to the family/their home and would come up to them and chat with them and knock on their windows in the morning saying “Mom wake up”.
He apparently liked to tease people who were afraid of him, and one day when the family were away for the holidays a neighbor caught him and sent him to an animal sanctuary. The sanctuary released him out into the wild and the crow, Cosmo, tried to find his way home.
He followed cars he thought belonged to his family, would sit outside of buildings calling out for them/talking to people, and made it to the elementary school because he recognized someone inside. He used to play with children at his family’s farm and so he enjoyed playing with the children at the school.
Meanwhile, his family WAS looking for him, putting up his picture and trying to track him down.
Eventually they were alerted to the talking crow at the school and successfully reunited with him and brought him back to their farm. Apparently Cosmo has not gone back to the neighbors’ place ever since.
I’m a bit emotional about it. This crow really loved this family, and they really loved him.
